Earlier today, in an interview with the media, Hu Baishan, the Executive Vice President of vivo, confirmed that the company will be debuting its first self-developed ISP chip in September. This silicon dubbed as vivo V1 will be present inside the upcoming vivo X70 series. In the same interview, the executive also confirmed the arrival of vivo tablets.
Chinese smartphone brands are said to enter the tablet market very soon. Xiaomi has already released its first tablets in years earlier this month. On the other hand, realme has been teasing its tablet but it is yet to officially launch it.
Similarly, OPPO, OnePlus, and vivo are also expected to announce their tablets in the coming days. These companies have already filed design patents and trademarks for the same.
At the end of June, vivo was reported to launch its tablet in the fourth quarter of 2021. Looks like that will not be the case. As per Hu Baishan, the company’s first tablet will arrive in the first half of 2022.
When questioned about other ecosystem products like smart televisions, the executive replied that the company is only focussing on tablets for now. He says that tablets have better integration with smartphones than smart TVs.
Unfortunately, the Vice President of vivo did not reveal anything about the firm’s first tablet. Going by trademark filings, it could go official as vivo Pad. Additionally, iQOO, the sub-brand of vivo is also expected to release its tablet.
Since vivo tablets are months away, we will have to wait for a long time to learn about them via leaks and certifications.
